Abstract:
A pyrene-degrading isolate, strain PYX-6 T , was obtained from Tianchi Lake, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China, and was identified by means of polyphasic taxonomy. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain PYX-6 T was closely related to members of the genus Saccharothrix . Its 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each of Saccharothrix syringae , Saccharothrix australiensis , Saccharothrix algeriensis and Saccharothrix coeruleofusca was 98 %. Chemotaxonomic and physiological properties of strain PYX-6 T further supported its affiliation to the genus Saccharothrix . DNA–DNA hybridization results and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain PYX-6 T from recognized Saccharothrix species. Therefore, strain PYX-6 T represents a novel species, for which the name Saccharothrix xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain PYX-6 T (=AS 4.1731 T =JCM 12329 T ).
